The Philippines (Boracay) to Thailand (Bangkok)
It was a long day of travel as we headed out of the Philippines to continue our holidays elsewhere. We booked our return flight out of the Boracay area from Kalibo instead of the closer airport, Caticlan. This involved a shuttle bus ride from the hotel to the Boracay port at the south end of…

The Philippines: Boracay Day 16
Our last full day in Boracay was a bit better than the past week or so. We spotted a bit of sunshine for our last late afternoon visit to D’Mall. Before leaving, we wanted to be sure to partake of the Mango Shake that many of the tour groups were promoting. It was no lie…

The Philippines: Boracay Day 15
You know you’re bored when the pics of the day are of reptiles and insects…. [simage=3819,200,y,center,][simage=3821,200,y,center,] There was a slight clearing in the storm, which we took advantage of and went out. However, a new storm has started to come through to last for another five days! Thank goodness we are planning on getting out…

The Philippines: Boracay Day 14
I have to say the weather is giving me a bit of cabin fever. When the rain and wind stopped, I decided to take a short walk around the grounds of the hotel: [sthumbs=3754|3755|3805|3806|3807|3808|3809|3810|3811|3812|3813|3814,max,3,y,center,] After that, I managed to finish my Ethical Clearance online course for ZU’s Ethical Clearance committee requirements so that I can…

The Philippines: Boracay Day 13
Well, a tropical storm has been passing through like you wouldn’t believe. I am recalling my early days in Japan trying to get through typhoons on a bicycle and stay somewhat dry at the same time. Ultimately, there are only two ways to get through such storms: 1) don’t leave the warmth and dryness of…

The Philippines: Boracay Day 12
The verdict from yesterday? Rain and stormy weather has come into the region to stay for a couple of days. 🙁 The upside is that there is not much else to do other than some work things. So, I have written a course proposal, started work on the university’s ethical clearance which I need to…

The Philippines: Boracay Day 11
Recovering from too much happiness the night before, we had a slow day by the pool. We managed to get down to D’Mall for massages and then went down to the buffet at Paradise Garden. [simage=3789,200,y,center,][simage=3790,200,y,center,] It was an extremely windy evening, which R said was either going to bring in really crappy weather or…

The Philippines: Boracay Day 10
Yesterday we spent some time trying to figure out what we should do – stay here in Boracay for another six days or head to somewhere else like Cebu. After some searching and consideration of transportation challenges (sea, air, luggage, etc.), we decided to go ahead and stay here. So, I looked online to book…

The Philippines: Boracay Day 9
The sun still seems to be hiding, though we did see a slight glimmer of it in the late afternoon into dusk. We tried out one of the buffets on offer down by the White Beach area. It was okay, though the lack of breeze allowed the bugs to give me an annoying sense of…
